Comment: I have been on Yasmine for 2 years. I did not take any weight with this pill and my periods are finally regulated! Also helped my skin! I suffer from migrains since I was 6 years old and this pill did not increase them. I was also on anxiety medication when I started this contraceptive and I did not get depressive one bit, even when I stopped my anxiety meds. I love yasmine!

Comment: I would advise any young woman NOT to take this pill. I almost died taking it with the uncommon side effects. I was diagnosed with pulmonary embolisms, pneumonia and pulmonary hypertension within 2 months of taking this pill. when i was prescribed Yasmin, no steps were taken to ensure I would stop smoking, loose weight etc, it was a 5 minute appointment with my gp and I was sent on my way.

More checks need to be made with the patient to ensure they are the right candidate for that specific drug. again, ladies, please do NOT take this pill. Hide Full Comment

Comment:Im 32 and feel that after using this pill for over 18months I feel compelled to warn others away from using it. on the plus side i didnt get pregnant. I took the pill for about 8 months and the changes to mood were so subtle I barely noticed them happening. As time wore on I became lethargic, depressed, tired, moody and suffered the most hurrendous IBS with cramping so bad I would break into a sweat with the pain. As a mother with 3 kids I felt useless as I was either tied to the toilet or so depressed and lethargic I was unable to leave the house or play with my kids. The doctor just blamed IBS, said I was gluten intolerant (despite no testing) and offered anti-depressants. I refused meds and took to researching Yasmine on the web. This is when I came across numerous other stories like mine so I quit the pill the same day. A few days later the IBS stopped altogether. The moods lifted and energy restored over the next couple weeks. By the end of the month I was like a new person and 4 months on I have not looked back. Because the symptoms were slow to develop I would never have linked the two of them had I had seen the web articles and decided to come off yasmine to see what happened. My advise is dont risk this pill. End of. If you are already on and feel well please be vigilant and come off it the minute you start to feel anything but your normal self.Hide Full Comment
